I’m taking about 2 weeks to rest after a very intense academic school year. Will start transitioning to my summer work schedule soon.

So assigned reading for grad seminars → reading for the research I’m doing + Mask Bloc UC Davis 😷🐮 → Mask Bloc L.A. 😷🐱 + translation work

[🌱Belén @belseedling]

I added IDs for each photo + then sent the tweet. Didn’t see the usual ALT label on my tweeted photos, so I deleted the post + added the IDs again to a new post. They don’t seem to be there again 🙃 [the 1st photo - cherry tomatoes; 2nd - a masked cow plush surrounded by boxes]

Spent the day counting masks with MBLA 😷🐱. There were about 6 of us, and we each counted 100s of masks. Was happy to meet a new member and reconnect in person with older members. It was the new member who brought us cherry tomatoes. Marguerite came to cheer us on 😷🐮

I returned to Insta (same handle, @belseedling) where I work on my masked cow photography skills (grid) and post about mask distro from around the world (stories). Here’s a preview 😷🐮

@MaskBlocBdx @MathieuMolimard Très bien dit ! 😷💯 Merci beaucoup pour votre travail. À Mask Bloc L.A., on connaît malheureusement ça aussi. Je pense fort aux membres de Mask Bloc Bordeaux ❤️‍🩹

[Mask Bloc Bordeaux @MaskBlocBdx]

@MathieuMolimard Le masque reste utile en intérieur compte tenu du fait que le COVID circule toujours et n’est jamais devenu plus bénin. Une information ne doit pas en occulter une autre.

Par ailleurs, nous organisons exceptionnellement des distributions pour protéger la population des fumées :

Alrighty, our question will be::: If you could transform into any animal for a day, what would you become? 🦆

It is 8:29 a.m. here in California. I’m working on the fun question for today’s MBLA 😷🐱 meeting. It’s been an eventful time these past few months with our fundraiser + the warehouse fire in the city, along with regular mask distro. The group has definitely been keeping busy 😊

[🌱Belén @belseedling]

Also, hi everyone! Grad school and other responsibilities got me off social media, but I’m back! Have kept in contact with folks in my mb and other groups throughout this time. Hope y’all are doing well 🫶

Can't wait to share my cheery Italian music playlist with her. 🥰

Also, I hope everyone reading these tweets is doing well. I continue to be super busy with grad school ☺️🤠

[🌱Belén @belseedling]

"I'll need to pick your brain on Italian music some time, I've been listening to more of the stuff I grew up with lately but could do with new recommendations" — Received this message today. I'm so happy. I need to chat about Italian music with people who mask 😷🥹

Si vous avez les moyens, on a une cagnotte 👀

Ça nous aiderait à profiter de cette promo pour consolider notre stock et équiper les personnes qui veulent se protéger sans avoir à vendre un organe 💸
Et si vous voulez des masques gratuits, contactez-nous !

Are there folks in Morocco interested in starting a mask bloc? Or are there already mask blocs there?

A person in a French mask bloc knows someone who'd like to join or start one in the North African country, so please let us know 😷🌱

[Mask Bloc L.A. @MaskBlocLA]

the maskbloc love is so real 😭
